Problems At Meeting Horticultural council

The potato situation was thor- oughly discussed at the annual meeting last week at Ottawa of the Canadian Plortioult/ural coun-

A cil, reports Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deg.

uty Minister of Agriculture. All the provinces -were well represent- ed. but there were particularly groups from Ontario and British Columbia. Mr. E. D. Reid. representing the P. E. 1. Potato Promotional Committee. and Mr. 3-. A. MacDonald of the P. E. I. Potato Marketing Board, were in attendance.

After the general meeting the conference broke up into Commo- dity Committces. The Potato, Tur- nip. and Vegetable Committee was under Mr. Shaw's chairmanship. and was the largest committ e of the conference.

A survey of the conditions acres Canada indicated some surplus of potatoes, but not a sufficient quan- tity to embarrass a marketing sit- uation.

It was reported that seine pots- toes were coming in from the Maine border adjacent to New Brunswick, but not’ in sufllclently large quantities to ,really embar- rass the situation. The shadow of- impending imports. and a gener- ally wealr position in‘ the United States. were having a decisive ef- fect on the market. but there was a feeling that, when seed demand begins to take hold in the United States, possibly in March. and slxxplies immediately inside the Maine border were whittled down. the general situation should im- rove. ‘

Considerable dis c us a i o n took

place regarding the incidence of surface scab in potatoes, and it was felt that a more generous at- titude toword scab should be pro- vided in the grades. It was very definitely agreed, however, that Canada No. 1 potatoes should not be lowered in this grade, but rath- er strengthened, and if anything were done to assist the sale of scab infested potatoa it should be thriugh some other grade. A reso- lution which provided for a com- mercial grade of potatoes to sup- plant the present No. 2 grade was turned back to Provincial authori- ties for further consideration. Mr. Shaw headed the commit- tee to take care of the selection and the details governing a potato trophy for the Royal Winter Fair. This committee convenai and ar- rangements were made for a suit- able trophy. to cost in the vicinity of $i.500. and to be devoted to competition in seed p0tBt0e5—30 potatoes to a sample.

While civil servants are not usu- ally appointed to senior official positions on the Horticultural Council, Mr. Show was selected as first vice-president of the Council

of his excellent contribu- tions to Council work. particularly on the Potato Committee. He was also for the fourth successive year made chairman of the latter com- mittee, and received some very high compliments on his work in

Commenting on some representa- tions that had been made to Ot- tawa regarding the potato situa- tion, he said: “I do not know what these representations are. but I rather deplore the practice of»in- dividuals, even distinct groups, making representations to Ottawa authorities without first consulting those organizations which are rec- ognized as representing the potato industry of the Province before such representations are forward- ed. This practice can very well confuse and defeat the legitimate demands of the potato industry as formulated by and presented by roco ised potato organizations.
